Message from The A Level Coordinator
“ Education, knowledge and learning are mutual responsibilities amongst devoted teachers, motivated students and zealous parents with high expectations.”
The role of an academic institution is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an ever-changing global society. At the Intellect School we provide an atmosphere to our students for heterogeneous development , where students are encouraged to channelize their true potential. This can only be possible in a comprehensive, student centric environment. The abilities, skills and the achievements need to be nurtured and encouraged so that the student is able to attain the heights of achievements. The Intellect School A Levels provides them opportunities to exhibit and express their skills other than providing them with good education. The school is diligently working to make the best possible efforts to inculcate strong values combined with academics in the students. At the Intellect, academic excellence is a major thrust and because of this we have put a great deal of effort in hiring the best teachers for our students.
Parents are the most strengthening power in constructing the future of their children. Their consistent support helps us to do our best. We humbly pay our gratitude to them for supporting us and believing in us. We strongly believe that by the will of Allah (swt), Intellect will prosper and will become stronger, adding a new leaf to the grandeur of the school.
